Sostenplas at Plastics & Rubber 2026: Leading Circularity in WEEE Plastics

Publication Date: March 9, 2026

This week, Sostenplas will be exhibiting at the Plastics & Rubber 2026 trade fair, taking place on March 11th and 12th at La Farga in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona. As leading European manufacturers of high-performance recycled plastics, we will use this platform to present our latest innovations in recycled ABS (rABS), recycled PS (rPS), and recycled PP (rPP).

If you are part of the Automotive or Consumer Electronics sectors (OEMs) and are looking for reliable industrial-grade resins, this event is the perfect opportunity to discover our solutions firsthand.

Featured Keynote: The Future of WEEE Plastics

One of the highlights of the trade fair will be the presentation by our President, Paula Quintanilla, who will deliver a keynote address on the circular economy within the technology and home appliance sectors.

Keynote Details:

• Speaker: Paula Quintanilla (President of Sostenplas).
• Date: Thursday, March 12, 2026.
• Time: 10:20 a.m.
• Topic: Circularity in plastics derived from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

During her presentation, Paula Quintanilla will detail how Sostenplas successfully closes the loop for technical plastics. She will address current traceability challenges, European regulations on post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, and the process of transforming electronic waste into secondary raw materials of the highest purity—ready for the most demanding injection molding processes.

What are WEEE plastics and why are they essential to Sostenplas?

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. At Sostenplas, we specialize in recovering rigid plastics from these devices at the end of their lifecycle.

Through state-of-the-art separation and extrusion processes, we transform this waste into high-quality recycled ABS, Polystyrene (PS), and Polypropylene (PP) pellets. This prevents valuable materials from ending up in landfills and significantly reduces the carbon footprint (CO2​) compared to the production and use of virgin plastics.

Visit the Sostenplas Booth in Barcelona

Integrating circular materials into supply chains is no longer just an option; it is a technical and legislative necessity. We invite you to visit our booth at Plastics & Rubber 2026 to:

1. Touch and analyze physical samples of our industrial-grade rABS, rPS, and rPP.
2. Review our certifications regarding quality, traceability, and regulatory compliance (RecyClass, ISO).
3. Discuss custom compounding projects to tailor our recycled plastic formulations to your specific molds, impact requirements, melt flow index, or aesthetic needs.
